How to make Barbie Pink Strawberry Cold Foam
This cold foam is a blend of heavy cream and strawberry flavor, whipped to a silky, cloud-like texture. The key is getting that perfect airy consistency—lush, but still pourable—and an authentic strawberry flavor using real or freeze-dried strawberries blended into a pretty pink hue. Sweeten gently, and finish with a hint of vanilla for that classic Dunkin’ twist.

What to serve with
Drinks
Pair your cold foam with any chilled drink—Dunkin’-style iced coffee, matcha latte, lemonade, or a fruity refresher. For a Barbie brunch, serve with a pink dragonfruit refresher or sparkling water for a non-caffeinated treat.
Sides
Complement with baked treats like fluffy cupcakes, berry scones, or cookies. Try it over pancakes for a breakfast twist or alongside a bowl of fresh fruit.
Variations
- Vegan Barbie Cold Foam: Swap out heavy cream for coconut cream and use oat or almond milk. Sweeten with agave or maple syrup.
- Extra Pink: Add a drop of beet or pitaya powder for a more vivid color, or use berry syrup for deeper sweetness.
- Flavored Foam: Blend in a touch of lemon zest for a strawberry-lemonade effect, or sprinkle with edible glitter for maximum Barbie glam!
